My grandfather passed away yesterday...

[Roxyluvsme13]

Hey guys,

I just wanted to drop by and let everyone know that my grandpa passed away... He went really easy, I'm just not sure what to do without him.

My parents have been divorced since I was 1 and my grandpa and my mom raised me. He took Roxy in for me when we had to move to an apartment, and Roxy loved him to pieces, too.

Now he is with Roxy, my nanny, my aunt, and his family that he has lost over the years.

I'm dealing with it a lot better than I thought I would, but it's hard.

He was 80.

If you all could keep my family in your prayers, I would appreciate it. :love:

{{{hugs}}} Prayers to you and your family. I hope your mom is doing ok.:love:

[Lillycat]

......they will help you during this time......I know it is a hard time.....take care of yourself...

[CountryWolf07]

Definitely will keep you in my good thoughts... always hard to lose a grandparent, I know, I've been there. Keep yourself well.

[Laura's Babies]

Sorry for your loss. Grandpa's are special people and it sounds like he was more special than most. May he rest in peace.

[Freedom]

You are so lucky to have spent so much time with your grandpa during his - and your - lifetimes. Remember all those wonderful times.

I am sorry for your loss.

[Taz_Zoee]

I am so sorry for your loss. Take peace is knowing he is reunited with Roxy and other family. Hugs!!

Hugs to you Bri, you're in my thoughts and prayers.

[Karen]

We will keep you and your family in our prayers. Get yourself a journal and write down a memory of him every day for the next while, and keep it handy, so maybe some day when you have children of your own, you can share stories with them.

[phesina]

My deepest sympathy to you and your family on the loss of your beloved grandfather.

[Karen]

Oh, and sending you a good firm hug.

My Dad is 80, the grandfather of 9 and many "pseudo" grandkids, so if you need an extra Grandpa, I can loan him out. He's here in Massachusetts, but going strong.

[Alysser]

Bri, I am so sorry to hear about your Grandpa. May he rest in peace, he's with roxy now. :)

[Medusa]

How fortunate you were to have your grandfather for so long. I knew only one grandparent, my grandfather, and he passed when I was 12. The others died before I was born. What wonderful memories you must have. They'll keep you warm when you're down and tired. I'm sorry for your loss but happy that you had so many good years. :love:

[Catlady711]

Sorry to read of your grandfathers passing. Grandparents are our special teachers in life there to guide us along the way with all the experiences they have had, to pass on the family history, with stories & just be there for us as we are growing up. God bless you & your grandpa for all the good times spent togother. :love:

[Roxyluvsme13]

Thank you all for your kind words and thoughts and prayers. They really helped me feel a little bit better.

I'll attach a picture of me and my grandpa at graduation, though his eyes are closed. I have another one hanging on my bulletin board back in my dorm at UT. There's another one I couldn't find that I was going to share, but I also attached the picture of him walking my mom down the aisle at her wedding :love:. We have lots of pictures of him at home and a lot of memories, it's just really hard realizing that I can't call him anymore or that he won't fuss at me anymore or the little things like that.

[luvofallhorses]

I am so very sorry for your and your family's loss, Bri. :( You will all be in my thoughts and prayers. (((hugs)))

I am so sorry to hear of your loss.... May the good times stay with you always.

[gini]

Grandparents are very special. I am so sorry to hear that you have lost your Grandfather. He was lucky to have such a loving Granddaughter! May he rest in peace.

[Roxyluvsme13]

Thank you all :love:

I know my grandpa is in a better place and he is no longer suffering. I'm coping really well, though cleaning his house and going through things has been a bit difficult for me.

My mom is doing okay as well, she's struggled with it all a lot though.

We will both be okay though, my grandpa is okay and he knows we loved him and we know he loved us.
